Kodiak Returns For Aart

[PyschoMystic]

"Aart!" he called. He looked around. He had brought a male for aart's army. He led Ocala into the forest, deeper and deeper. The night was draping a blanket of darkness over the forest. It soon became black. But Kodiak didn't stop or turn back. He could hear the deep breathing of the beast already. It put a terrible feeling in his stomach, but he didn't let it show. He acted as if he did this all the time. "This way." he spoke to the wolf male behind him.

Lilly heard the calling and got up from where she lay. She walked into the forest just a bit and waited patientally for whoever it was out there. It was time she started to know what was going on with her mate and his doings around here. Hearing the whispers she let out a low growl and stood silently waiting.

[PyschoMystic]

Kodiak led the male into the deepest part of the forest, the dead center. He could see the beast's form and then spotted Lilly. "You probably shouldn't be here..." he started. But he figured she was already a slave. "Where is Aart?" he asked, hoping she knew.

[Alexis]

Lilly growled in defense. "Shouldn't be here?" she questioned tilting her head. Her voice came in almost a whisper as she knew of the strange creatures that lurked around here. "I don't know where he is." she stated. though wondered what he wanted with her new mate.

Ariona came into the lands. "I am here to join the army!" she spoke proudly

[PyschoMystic]

Kodiak nodded. "So is he." he said. He sat down calmly. He wasn't afraid of anything anymore. Not now. "Are you part of Aart's army?" he asked Lilly.

[Alexis]

Lilly looked at him funny. She knew something was going on but an army? She questioned herself and wondered what she had gotten into. Maybe she was someone around here that people should respect. Holding her head high she glinted her eyes at him. "No, I have nothing to do with his army. I'm his mate." she waited for the reply and just hoped a little for some kind of shock from the male.

[PyschoMystic]

Kodiak was shocked. He opened his mouth to say something but words wouldn't form. He tried to maintain his calm cool and collected attitude, but he looked just plain embarassed. He looked at the other wolves and then back at Lilly. Finally he took a shaky breath and spoke. "His mate?" he said. "Aart, never told me about a mate when he made me his messenger boy." he spoke like he was talking about an annoying boss. But Kodiak's real reason for being surprised and anxious was his fear that Aart would have pups. The children of Aart would possibly have the same relation as Aart and his own father Lupercus. Would Aart kill Lupe? Kodiaks mind went back to that question. But he tried to focus on Lilly and this whole deal. "Um, did you know about the army your mate is stirring up?" he asked her finally. The word mate came out as a disgust. The thought of Aart falling in love didn't seem right.

[Alexis]

Lilly thought the need to explain herself. Maybe Aarit didn't want others to know he had a mate. She hung her head a little in fear of what would happen to her. Looking back up to the male she chuckled a little. Messenger boy eh? She laughed in her head and shook it softly. But then reality set in. "No I didn't know about this army. Or the fact the Aart was starting it. In fact, I know very little about my mate. Other then he's different and he has giant wolf eating creatures as bodygaurds. I haven't spent very much time with him as he's usually off somewhere." She sat down in sighed. This was hardly love and happy ever after. When she thought about having a mate, this wasn't even close to what she had in mind.

[PyschoMystic]

Kodiak sensed her feelings. He looked down at the ground for a moment. He wondered if he could draw her away from Aart. But then again, he wondered if that would be bad for him, or even Lilly. Kodiak looked first at Ariona thenbehind him at Ocala. Then he began to pace. He did this often when trying to figure things out.

Gwilhir's ear flicked silently as he opened one eye. Realising the wolves were talking to Aart's mate he jumped to his feet and snarled loudly. He dashed infront of her protecting her from any possible enemies.

All the noise then woke the rest of the animals sending them immediately into defence mode. They surrounded the wolves, each snarling and baring their teeth.

Aart slinked into the opening silently. He glanced quickly at Lilly then stared at the opposing wolves. ''What do we have here?'' he growled.

[horsegal1]

"My name is Ariona and i am here to join the army."

[Alexis]

Lilly growled in fright as the creatures surrounded her. She knew they were protecting her but something about them just made her shake in her fur. Seeing Aart she smiled and ran to his side for comfort. "It's ok. I heard them coming and they just woke me. They're here for your army." She looked up at Aart with a smile but her eyes darted back to Kodiak.

[rowes]

Aart smiled and nuzzled her affectionately. He scanned each wolf, although dark he could tell who they were, their age and gender. ''Gwilhir, take them to the tempory dens and let them sleep. Take Kodiak with you and keep an eye on him.'' he barked. He looked back at his mate and smiled once more, ''You must be tired. Lets sleep.'' He paced back to the den leaving his faithful servent to take care of the newcomers.

[Alexis]

She grinned and started to trot faithfully after him. She wagged her tail behind her and shot a glance over her shoulder to Kodiak. She was tired though and laied happily down with Aart.
